An engineering work that has taken
over century to construct can lNrdly
fail to offer some points of interest in its
history, and illustrate tho march Of events
during the years of its progress. An IN
stance Of this kind is to be found in q
tunnel not long since completed, but
which was commenced over a hundred
years ago. This tunnel, or adit as IT.
should be more strictly termed, is at
Schemnitz, in Hungary. It's construction
was agreed upon in 1882, the object being
to carry off the water from the Schemnitz
mines to the lowest part of the Gran val
ley.
The work is now complete, and forms
the longest tunnel in the world. being
1927 miles long, or about one mile long,
er than st. Gotliard, and two and half
miles longer than Mont Gents. The
height Is ninc feet ten inches and the
breadth five feet three inches. This tun.
mel, which has taken 50 long in making,
has cost nearly Ct 600 600, but the money
appears to havc-becn well spent; at least
the present generation has no reason to
grumble, for the saving from being able

A number Of years ago while on
fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. in the
City of Yucatan, hauled in a small fish
known to science as the H@mulon, and to
sailors as the grint, and never was fish
better named, as no sooner did take it
in hand than it rolled a most expressive
pair of eyes as far as fish could roll them,
and commenced an appeal that quite as
tonished me. First the grunts were low
and uttered singly; then they grew louder
and faster, and finally the fish hurled at
me perfect volley of sounds that ! ac-
cepted as an entreaty for mercy and hur-
riedly tossed him back. Later caught
many grunts, and they were all very
talkative out of water; but whether these
sounds could be uttered in their native
element it would be difficult to deter
mine.
have heard the Hmmulon grunt, the
grouper, as well as number of fishes,
croak, and the dog fish bark (croak). The
little seahorse, hippocampus, utters
curious sound that is caused by the vibra-
tions of certain small voluntary muscles.
DR.. G. G. Abbott heard the mud sunfsh,
Acantharchus promitis, utter a deep,
grunting sound, and the gizzartl shad
makes an audible. whirring noise. The
club sucker, Erimyzon oblongam, utters
a single prolonged note, while the catfish,
Amiurus lynx, produces gentle hum
ming sound. Abbot believes, however,
that the most musical of the fishes is the
eel, that utters single note frequently
repeated, and has slightly metallic res
onance. The fact that the organ OF
hearing in these musical fishes is very
well developed would seem to point to
the belief that the notes were calls; and
as the air bladder in fish represents to
some extent the lungs of other animals,
there is no reason for not thinking that
the fishes have vocal communication.
The musical notes and noises arc pro-
duced in nseveral ways. Some are due to
the action Of the pneumatic duct and''
swimming bladder, while others. are ac-.
cidental, or produced invollntariIy BY
the lips or the pharangeal or intermaxil- I
liary bones. The notes mado by the
carp and tench are due to the latter,
while those of the catfish and eels are
made by forcing air from the swimming
bladder into the @sophagus. Boston

A BIG IMPROVEMENT


Soon to be Contaminated at the Hub
Clothing House. Church street.
Messrs. E. S. Kendall & Co., proprietors of
the Hub Clothing House, are preparing for a
general enlargement and notably elegant
improvement of their establishment,
No. 112 Church street. The firm
change of this character owing to the con-
slant and large increase of their business.
The plans for the improvement of the
building, which are now being prepared by
Mr.. Robinson, the architect, include the low
ering of the first floor of the store SO as to
give the lower story twelve feet clear. There
will be an entire new and elegant front of
plate glass twenty five feet wide, with show
windows twelve feet deep, having plate glass
sides twelve feet wide for the vestibule,
making altogether one of the largest,
most spacious and finest show windows
in New Haven. The iron work and orna-
mental wood work and all the appointments
will add to the attractiveness of the change.
The firm have also leased the entire building
and with the additional floors and alterations
of the interior the accommodations will be
greatly increased. A handsome spiral stair
case will lead to the upper floors. The firm,
which has well-earned high reputation for
enterprise and honorable dealing, will in
view of this important new departure make a
sweeping and grand reduction in the prices
of all garments in their establishment, one
which will mark an era in the history of the
clothing business in New Haven. The prices
will be such as will effect a clearing
out of their immense stock, so that
the firm can open in their elegant remodelled
and enlarged store with magnificent new
stock of goods in every department. The
firm have the exclusive sale for New Haven
OF the splendid garments made by the cele
brated firm of Rogers, Peet 6 Co. of New
York city garments which for quality, finish,
trimming, ETC., justly vie with the finest
merchant tailor made suits and are sold at
greatly lower prices, as hundreds of New Ha-
ven gentlemen can testify who are constant
buyers of these celebrated goods. The Hub
store will mark all of this splendid class of
goods way down to bargains unheard of be-
fore in New Haven, as every buyer will find
to his satisfaction on examination of the
quality, desirability and genuine value and
stylishness of these garments. The Hub
clothiers will also offer magnificent bargains
in their boys and children's departments.
The store has the good will of the New Haven
public and the new improvement will add
still more to the prosperity of Church street

YALE KENT CLUB.

Am Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Evening-A Course of Lectures To
BE had.
At the regular meeting of the Yale Kent
club held last evening, thirty members were
present, Harrison S7, the president of the
club, in the chair After the regular bust
ness had been transacted the following ques-
ton came up for debate: Resolved, that
the law providing that all stores be closed
on Sunday is unjustifable governmental in
reference" The first to speak for the af-
frmative was Davis '88, who made strong
and eloquent plea for the keeping open of
the stores on Sunday, stating that the work
ing people who received their pay late on
Saturday night could not go down town
Saturday night to buy the necessities of life,
and that the stores should be open at least
half day to give these people chance to
buy what they most needed.
James '87 followed for the negative, lay.
ing great stress on the fact that if the stores
were open on Sunday they would soon be
turned into private saloons.
Lawler '88 closed for the affirmative with
a strong argument, which was loudly ap-
plauded. The judges, Lee 'S7 and Blakely
'8S, decided the debate in favor of the mega
tive.
committee of Eve, consisting of Harri-
son '57, james '87, Sargent '87, Shipman '88
and Robinson '8S, were appointed to arrange
a course of lectures to be given before the
members of the club and their friends. These
lectures will be given by prominent men of
the country and will probably be held in the
Common Pleas court room, one lecture to be
given each month. These lectures will be u
revival of the Kent club course, which proved
SO popular few years ago, when on each
lecture night it was almost impossible to get
inside the court room. The admission will
be by invitation
